I think you can mount / from compressed image (mount to /mnt and the chroot there). > I'm personally very curious about performance growth :) I would like to see the numbers as well. By the way you can use makefs to create UFS/UFS2 compressed image (or just simply mdconfig/newfs and then create compressed image from md). Another option will be to sort file list before feeding it to mkisofs. According to LiveCD mailing lists this gives noticable performance boost. > Thank you by the FreeSBIE team. /fjoe
